How it works Propane refrigerators use a mixture of water, ammonia, and hydrogen to create a continuous cooling cycle. The mixture is pressurized so that the ammonia stays in liquid form when it’s at room temperature. The refrigerator has five main parts. Generator or boiler – generates ammonia gas.

Camper Batteries 101: The Basics If your batteries are low and need charging, you may need about seven amps to begin charging just your batteries. You could charge, run your fridge on 120 and your air conditioner if it has a low BTU rating. Educate yourself by finding out the total amp usage of each of your appliances.

- There is smply not enough energy in a battery to plane a boat for any distance. I built an electric outboard for an electric fishing boat that I am working on. I put a 1hp 24v electric motor on an old evinrude 8.5hp that had a blown power head. This combination will produce about 200lb of thrust.

- The fuses are located under the black plastic cover all the wires go to in both Dometic and Norcold refrigerators. Fortunately, however, there are only two situations in which the fuses hiding under the cover may need to be checked. The first is if you have no lights on the control board on your refrigerator door.

RV fridge problems Posts: 4. RV fridge problems. Hello all. I'm new to this forum, and new to RVing itself. Been a tent camper for several years, but our 28 ft. 1996 Chateau is new to us. The fridge started out working just fine, but after a week or so of normal use, the fridge part isn't cooling anywhere close to correct. The freezer freezes fine, but the fridge isn't working.

How RV Heating and Cooling Really Work Many thermostats are setup so both the furnace and the heat pump kick on when you select a temperature that is more than 5 degrees higher than the current temperature. When heating the RV with the heat pump I increase the temperature setting in 4 degree increments, which keeps the propane furnace from ever kicking on.

- Number of solar panels required for the mains fridge / freezer. We have already calculated the power consumption and how big the batteries need to be so we know that after 4 days of little sunshine 3600 Watt hours of power need to be put back into the batteries.

Why thermostats have batteries The batteries are only to maintain memory in a smart thermostat on a central air system. Forced air fans draw a lot of current, and A/C compressors prodigal amounts. I LOL'd at the power outage quip, thinking of hoisting 72-lb RV batteries, several of which could run a small A/C for a matter of minutes.

- Is there a temporary repair for propane tank leak at a weld. I have a 30 foot 1995 Holiday Rambler Endeavor. My wife in in it away from home and there is a small propane leak at where the shutoff valve is welded to the tank.The tank is full.hey can suck the propane out of the tank and sell you a new filled tank. Another option is to take the tank off and away from surrounding RV and buildings and empty it. Take the empty tank to WalMart, Home Depot, etc and get a filled exchange tank.

- Posts: 250. I did figure out that without the disconnect switch turned on, the fridge didn't have any power. But with it on while driving, the fridge panel said it had no power to cool. I even tried turning on the inverter and that didn't help.

- You must have a 120 Volt AC power source if you are going to use the microwave, roof air conditioner, the refrigerator in the electric mode and the 120 Volt electrical outlets. For the most part everything else in the camper works off of 12-volt DC power.f you go to a campground that has a regular house type outlet there are adapters that you can use to go from your RV plug to the house type outlet. When you do this you are plugging into a 15 Amp or 20 Amp power source. This means you will be limited as to what appliances you can run in your RV.

RV Terms & Acronyms RV Terms & Acronyms. 120 AC/12 DC/LP-Gas - The power sources on which RV refrigerators operate; 120 AC is 120-volt alternating current (same as in houses); 12 DC is 12-volt direct current (same as in motor vehicles); LP-gas. Some RV refrigerators can operate on two of the three sources, others on all three.

- In the days of Classic RV'ing it was important to have the RV perfectly level or the refrigerator and other appliances might not work. Over the years this has improved to where you only need to be more-or-less level. I like to tilt my Class A a degree or two to one side to facilitate rain water run-off.

Installing a Residential Refrigerator in an RV/ Travel Trailer For us that is not a factor as we always stay at state grounds and normally don't travel more than a few hours. We can cool it down pack it up and take the trip, when we arrive just plug it in. The residential refrigerators work much better than the RV models and in this case I only paid less than $250 for the project.

Battery wont stay charged How long your battery lasts depends on how much energy is stored in the battery and how well you conserve it. There is no definite answer. Some campers claim that one 12 volt battery will last them up to 48 hours if they don't run the furnace, and carefully use the lights and the water pump, and basically conserve power.

RV Repair But - it will also have a generator that supplies the same 30 or 50 amp service if NOT plugged in to shore Power. It will have a 12 volt DC supply for various lights, the refrigerator and basic systems within the RV. Then, it will also have propane that can supply energy to the refrigerator as well.
